Pelli vs Dropbox: a platform for photographers, not a shared folder

Dropbox stores and shares your files reliably — but it isn't a photographer's tool: no branded gallery, no client selection, no print store, no invoicing. Pelli brings together your galleries, your store, your CRM, your quotes and invoices, your booking, your website and your marketing in a single French platform. To get anywhere near what Pelli does natively, a photographer "working on Dropbox" has to bolt on a real gallery plus 5 to 7 third-party tools. All of it manageable from your phone with no app to install, billed in your currency and hosted in France — whereas your Dropbox files sit by default on US servers subject to the Cloud Act. Dropbox stores your files; Pelli runs your business.

  • All-in-one: branded galleries, store, CRM, quotes and invoices, booking, website and marketing in a single tool
  • Sell your prints with 0% commission — Dropbox sells nothing and collects nothing
  • 100% usable on mobile, with no app to install
  • Hosted in France, GDPR, compliant with the 2026-2027 invoicing reform — no US servers by default
  • A premium gallery: 4K/8K video, AI search, face detection, Spotify ambiance

What you really pay

Dropbox only stores and shares files. To deliver a branded gallery, run client selection, sell, invoice and manage your clients, you have to bolt on a real gallery plus 5 to 7 third-party tools. Pelli brings all of it together natively for €15/month.

Dropbox — the storage

  • File storage and sharing only
  • No branded gallery, store, CRM or invoicing
  • Signing (Dropbox Sign) and AI billed separately
  • You have to bolt on a real gallery + 5 to 7 tools (~€130 to €215/month)
  • Data hosted by default in the United States

Pelli — your entire business

  • Pro plan: €180/year, all-inclusive
  • Galleries, 0%-commission store, CRM, invoices, booking, website and marketing included
  • 100% usable on mobile, with no app to install
  • Hosted in France, GDPR, sovereign "Léa" AI
  • Billed in your currency, 30-day money-back guarantee

Why choose Pelli

  • A platform built for photographers, not just a shared folder: galleries, store, CRM, invoices, booking, website and marketing
  • Sell your prints and charge your clients — 0% commission, impossible on Dropbox
  • 100% usable on mobile, with no app to install
  • French, hosted in France, GDPR — your files don't sit on US servers subject to the Cloud Act
  • GDPR-compliant French invoicing 2026-2027, billed in your currency, from €5/month
  • Plus a built-in "Léa" AI, hosted in France, to save you time

Dropbox stores and shares your files very well — but it isn't a photography tool. The moment it comes to delivering a branded gallery, running client selection, selling, invoicing and managing your clients, you have to bolt on a real gallery and a whole stack of software. Pelli brings it all together in a single French platform — mobile and sovereign. It's the tool built to run your business, not an online hard drive.
